2017 Governor's White

The Governor's White is a semi dry Riesling with a lot
of bright fruit and multiple layers. On
the nose there are the tropical fruits such as pineapple, passion fruit, star
fruit followed by blueberry, strawberry, plum and a touch of lemon that adds a
pleasant brightness to the wine. Amid
the fruit layers is a very soft honey and vanilla that plays nicely with the
classic Riesling nuances. The residual
sugar and alcohol are well balanced within the wines overall structure making
for a very approachable wine with smooth sweetness and fruit. This wine is very easy and fun to drink and
will pair with many light dishes or spicy foods; or simply with a burger by the
pool.
